    3. Subject: Prince Albert I found a document recently of an entry in the Genesee Co., NY Almshouse in Batavia, New York, regarding an inmate who calls himself Prince Albert: Record #:807 Date Admitted: Sept. 16, 1910 Name: Prince Albert Age: 44 Civil State: Single Last Residence: GreenCastle, Pa. (USA) Birthplace: London, Eng. How Long in U.S.: 10 years How long in this State: 3 months Has the person been Naturalized: No Occupation: Farm Laborer Education: Good Religion: Prot. Habits: Good Physicial Condition: Good Cause of Dependence: Weak mind Birthplace of Father: Eng., Occupation : unknown, Habits unknown Birthplace of mother: US Has the person ever received Public Relief: No Has the person been an Inmate of an Almshouse or other Institution: No Names and Address of Relatives or Friends: Says he has none only a mother in Pa. and he refuses to give her name or address claims to be a son of King Edward (sic) ________ I did a little research on the life of King Edward; found many mistresses for him, but none that seem to fit an age to be this man's mother. One, Lady Mordaunt was his mistress in 1870 and became insane. She died in an Asylum in England in 1906. ________ Border Crossings Canada to U.S. 1895-1956 (ancestry.com) This is an arrival November 1910 (note the date of admittance into the Almshouse in Genesee Co., NY Sept. 16, 1910) Arrival into the Port of Niagara Falls, NY Prince albert, farm laborer Born: Riesa, Germany Rae or People: Germany no address Final Destination: Greencastle, Pa. Date of Landing: 1884 Ship: Bremen Last Permenant Residence: Toronto, Canada _______ I've checked Census in Pennsylvania 1870 through 1920, but have not identified one who could be this "Prince Albert's" mother. It's a work in progress just for the curiosity of it. I sent a copy of this email to London, Eng., I got only a response from the List Administrator, "Interesting, but what can I do to help you" I haven't responded and won't. I only want to share this information but that didn't go over very well. This is just a fun project on my part and I'll continue. Deanna Smith Palatine Bridge, New York dsmith57701@adelphia.net
